Like many of us, Elizabeth Salewsky misses her dog shows. Here she is trying to re-enact our most memorable times.
In some ways, we live in a great time to be breeding dogs. Genome projects in both humans and dogs have yielded information about genetic disease and inheritability of traits that have improved our ability to make better breeding decisions and produce dogs more precisely tailored to our preferences.
There has, in recent times, been concern expressed about the direction which the sport of pedigreed dogs is currently taking, with a seemingly shifting emphasis and focus occurring away from the pursuit of meaningful breeding practices. A rather oddly rhetorical, and in some ways slightly nonsensical, question has been asked as to the relative and respective importance of judging versus breeding. As if the two could be divorced from one another, as if there was no connection between them. Don’t the two belong together; are they not intricately intertwined? You cannot, after all, have the one without the other and the breeding part surely has to come first. This is the anchor, which keeps the ship from drifting and ultimately ending up on the rocks. There are, of course, various layers and levels to this but the evaluation of stock going forward cannot meaningfully occur in the absence of purposeful and successful breeding. If the latter falters the whole sport will inevitably come apart, for its very essence, the development, perfection and preservation of breeds, is betrayed. Our dogs will seriously suffer as a consequence.
Ah, golden retrievers! CH Pebwin Velocity is trying so hard to comply with the six feet social distancing suggestion, while four month old CompassRoss Princess of Quite A Lot, attempts to figure out the rules. Thanks to Jane Amsterdam for sharing this fun photo! If you have a photo or video you would like to [...]
When we asked our readers to share their funniest or must embarrassing win or candid photo from a dog show all in good fun, we received an enormous response! Ann MacLean shared her best outtake. Pictured is Jayce and the “photo bomber” Lauchie in the background. Ann titles this outtake as the Border Collie photo [...]
The bill would prohibit any county or municipality (including those under home rule) from controlling or regulating specific breeds of dogs. It would also make any existing breed-specific law in the state null and void. Counties and municipalities may regulate dogs, including at-large and vicious dogs, so long as the laws are not breed-specific.
The Dalmatian derives his name from the province of Dalmatia in Austria, but there have been many spotted dogs in Europe, Asia, and Africa for centuries.
Join Pam and Dave Peat at the Pramada Koradox Mini Farm where they will share their thought process for evaluating Dachshunds as a judge. These longtime breeders and exhibitors have a wealth of knowledge that any fancier will find enlightening.
While the exams will be breed specific, Pam and Dave will also share ring procedure tips they have refined over the years.
Learn what goes through the minds of two long-time AKC breeder judges and participate in a Q & A session at the end.
We hope breeders, exhibitors and judges (both prospective and seasoned) will find this informative and entertaining.
